Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Catfish and Trout

I forgot to ask this question.

Since trout will not reproduce and I will not put in structure for catfish to reproduce, I will need to yearly or every other year re-stock both catfish and trout. After several years, trout and catfish remaining in the pond will have some size to them probably each fish will be less than 100LBS haha but seriously folks, if I re-stock I am thinking that the fingerlings will become food for the larger and older fish.

Do I need to plan on growing out trout and catfish in a cage (many articles in Pond Boss by Bill and Cecil) or in a grow out pond???

Or will fingerling trout and catfish be able to avoid predation with enough Fatheads and blunt-nose and supplemental feeding??
